+## Installing Telemetry Free Version
+
+As of `0.5.0`, we have been gathering telemetry data to provide insights in to how our products are being used.
+
+The following data is collected:
+
+- Version of application in use
+- OS / platform of the device
+- What commands have been invoked (including command args)
+- Any errors that occurred when running the application
+
+We understand that there will be some users who prefer to have no telemetry data sent.
+For those users, we offer a version of PCT with the telemetry functionality disabled.
+
+To install:
+### Unix Systems
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://pup.pt/pdkgo/install.sh | sh -s -- --no-telemetry
+```
+
+### Windows Systems
+
+```ps
+iex "&{ $(irm https://pup.pt/pdkgo/install.ps1); Install-Pct -NoTelemetry }"
+```
+
+This will install the latest release of PCT, without telemetry functionality, to `~/.puppetlabs/pct`.
